My case to why we should not take an OT at 14

[C47]

I think Gettleman has made it clear that he's not hitching his wagon too tightly to Ron Rivera, so I don't think his opinion matters much right now.

If Johnson was there, I'd take him and if he looked good in camp I'd send Gross packing. Sorry, it's just business and Gross is eating up a ton of our cap room.

And that is how you build a winning football team.....

I wouldn't have. In those days it was a run heavy league. RT was a need in 2003. OT isn't a huge need in 2013.

If we were redoing the 2003 Draft next month based on our needs today, at no.8 I would have to pass on Gross for Kevin Williams or Troy.

Really genius??

You forget we had Jenkins Buckner Moorehead and Burton (pig farmer) backing them up and you would have drafted a DT???

Yep your opinion should be taking seriously.

That, I can't disagree

not going to lie I expected a poorly thought out, zero support thread, so I gotta give you credit for taking the time to put effort into this chuck

That doesn't make sense what you just said.

If we were picking based on BPA, we could go with a Jarvis Jones or Ansah than Lane. DE and OLB is just a need an OT. What would happen to Hardy? What if TD and Beason doesn't come back healthy?

Trust me, we're picking BPA. But, BPA at our "needs".

I never said Ansah was off the board. In fact, I think Ansah could be extremely intriguing to Gettleman because he already saw a similar player in JPP turn into a monster. Also, in what world after the middle of January is Jarvis Jones rated above Lane Johnson on a big board? Trust me I LOVE Jarvis' game being that he started out a Trojan, but Johnson is the higher rated prospect.....

Thanks for calling me a genius. (name calling again; please seek a therapist)

Read again bud, I said if I had to redo the 2003 Draft for next month (using the 2003 players for the 2013 Draft) based on our "needs" right now, I'd take Kevin or Troy. Get it or you want me to dumb it down even more?

I don't care whos ontop of who. DE, OLB and OT are not Top5 needs. In your case of saying draft BPA for the future, if you have Lane in there, why not Jarvis or Ansah for the future? Get my point? They're not a Top5 need until next year.

So were the ratio of teams that drafted a wr in the first that much more successful than those who went oline?

Gladly appreciated

Do the research and lmk

If we draft Tavon, a lot of people gonna owe Chuckie some props.based on his damn sig alone. I remember a few touting Keek last year at this time. Just take the BPA at 14 and let the Don work his magic.

What part of "in fact, I think Ansah could be extremely intriguing to Gettleman...." doesn't sound like I have Ansah as a high draft consideration if he's there? Jarvis I have rated in the twenties due to spinal concerns, and questions about his ability to cover and play in space, so he would be below the 14th prospect on my big board and therefore not in consideration for the fourteenth pick....

I say nay.

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm not saying we should draft an OT. I don't think we will simply because I think the three top OT prospects are likely to be gone by the time we're on the clock.

However, I am saying that we should take the BPA out of OL, DT, WR, and DB in the 1st round and likely the 2cd round as well. If one of those 3 OTs were on the board at #14, they'd almost certainly be the BPA out of those positions. Once you get past the 3rd round or so, pretty much everyone is just going pure BPA at that point.
